Michael Owen makes Manchester United vs Rochdale and MK Dons vs Liverpool predictions

Manchester United face off neighbours Rochdale in the third round of Carabao Cup, while Liverpool will be in action against MK Dons. Ahead of the game, Michael Owen has made his predictions. Owen thinks Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side should have no problems in overcoming their rivals, while Liverpool will have no troubles. Owen said: ‘"United are short of striking options with Marcus Rashford hobbling off with what looked like a groin injury against West Ham on Sunday. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is optimistic, however, that Mason Greenwood, who scored the winner against Astana on Thursday in the Europa League, will be over the illness that prevented him travelling to London at the weekend. Rochdale have lost three of their last four games in all competitions and I expect to see United return to winning ways back on home soil." Owen added: "Liverpool passed their first major examination of their title credentials at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and Jurgen Klopp looks sure to shuffle his talented pack at Stadium MK. Rhian Brewster is likely to make his debut for Liverpool against the Dons and I am looking forward to seeing the striker’s first appearance in a redshirt. It won’t be his last."
